Happy Birthday

The sun shone brightly through my bedroom windows. I opened my eyes and sat up. Suddenly I remembered what today was and I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. Everyone was in the living room but it was particularly quiet as Braelynn slept on the couch. I had told her that she was more than welcome to sleep inside my room, but she refused, claiming that our couch was and still is the comfiest couch she's ever sat on in her life.

I nearly tripped over the last step, causing my parents and Ron to look at me. Ignoring them, I jumped onto the couch where Braelynn lay and began jumping up and down.

"Wake up! It's your birthday!"

Her eyes shot open, a startled expression on her face. She sat up and very rudely pushed me off of her. I ended up falling off of the couch and the distance from the couch to the floor when you were standing up is pretty far. A loud thud could be heard as I fell to the floor. Braelynn looked at me with wide eyes and held a hand out to me. I took it and she pulled me up.

"Still so clumsy," Ron said with a laugh. I smiled at him and sat down on the couch beside Braelynn.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I should be fine. But, today isn't about me. It's about you. You're finally seventeen," I exclaimed.

She laughed and shook her head. "Where's my present?" she smirked.

I gave her a look and stood up.

"Just knowing me is more of a gift than anything else. Now get up. We have to get ready to leave to meet the Autobots. After that we're going out to eat at your favorite place to which your parents will be joining us," I told her.

She stood up from the couch and I motioned for her to head up to my room. She did, and I turned to Ron.

"Are you taking us or not?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm taking you."

I smiled.

"Yay. Okay. I'll see you guys in a little bit," I said and turned around.

I ran up the stairs and into my room. Braelynn was dressing herself and I walked over to my closet to pick something out. I took out a grey tank top, my black and white checkered flannel and a pair of blue skinny jeans. After grabbing my black combat boots I headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

The shower took about ten minutes, so when I was done I got out and got dressed. When I finished putting my clothes on, I walked back into my bedroom to see Braelynn laying down on my bed reading a fashion magazine.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked her as I began to dry my hair.

She nodded and got up. I finished drying my hair and soon Braelynn and I were headed downstairs.

"Are you ready, Braelynn?" I heard my dad ask.

She nodded. We followed Ron and my dad out the door and to the truck. The two of us hopped into the backseat while my dad and Ron got in. Before long we were off.

"Wow, this is so weird."

I looked at my best friend. "What is?"

"I'm sitting inside a living being right now. Nothing could be stranger," she stated.

I laughed at her. "It's not as weird as you think it is. Trust me."

"Oh well. It's okay. I'm just glad that I get to spend my seventeenth birthday with my second family. Well, two-fourths of my second family and the Autobots," she said happily.
